This article reports the results of a research project aimed at developing, analyzing, and evaluating genuinely co-disciplinary research and study paths [RSP] in secondary schools. The implementation and analysis of an RSP in physics and mathematics is presented. The instrument was implemented in five regular mathematics classes in different schools in the district of Tandil, Argentina. A total of 116 students between 16 and 18 years of age took part. The anthropological theory of the didactic, the RSP theoretical concepts, and the Herbartian schema are used as theoretical referents. This article describes and analyzes in detail the generation process of the didactic environment-mesogenesis-in each implementation. The obtained results allow the identification of difficulties in organizing and developing a study environment in the classroom as proposed strictu sensu in an RSP. The analysis of mesogenesis allows deducing some conclusions about the ecology of this type of teaching in regular secondary school courses.

Keywords : education, science teaching, secondary school, research and study path [RSP], didactic environment.
